Finding Freedom from Porn Addiction

There are numerous resources available for men (and women) who have addictions to pornography. The essential element in dealing with an addiction is that the FIRST STEP towards recovery takes place. The next important step is the continual work. The journey is long and hard but the freedom that comes from breaking the chains of an addiction to pornography is almost overwhelming. I highly recommend checking out TrueManhood's Guide called "5 Step Plan" and then determine what ...

I recently watched an awesome documentary put out by Rogue Fitness titled “Levantadores – The Basque Strongman.” It’s only about 30 minutes – I think it’s well worth your time.
My good friend and fellow strongman Jared Zimmerer posted about it and shared many good thoughts (click this link or the photo above for... [Read more]

A lie flying around in our culture – one that is very prevalent, and common-language for many – is the encouragement to “Live a balanced life.” (or other variations of it.) It’s sneaky in the way that it is extremely mainstream while still flying under the radar. It’s subtle, yet dangerous. I’ll explain.

Dear Fellow Fathers,
There’s a difference between maleness and manliness. A person is a male by virtue of his sex (gender), his DNA. A male is not a man simply because of his age, his profession, his marital status, whether or not he’s a virgin, what he owns, or any other arbitrary factor. A male becomes a man when his life is manly.... [Read more]

The concept of ‘sexy pressure’ for girls at Halloween had never crossed my mind before my wife sent me a NY Times “parent blog” article – here it is – but now it’s resonating with me. Makes me think about 10 years from now… what’s life going to be like for our little ones? (Please read the article... [Read more]

From time to time, bishops write what are called ‘apostolic exhortations’… a letter or article or writing that calls the people to a higher level of knowledge on a topic… that encourages the reader to live a particular way, or to consider a worldview that may be different from what they currently believe and are living.

Pope St. John Paul the Great (JP2) was “A Pope for the World.” He helped bring peace to the world by fighting the Nazi’s, communism, and the tyranny of the Cold War. He traveled the world like no previous Pope in history (obviously, modern technology and transportation-accessibility helped that) and was embraced as a man of peace.... [Read more]

News came out recently about Pope Francis’ changes to the annulment process. Many have questions, and some have bashed the Pope for these changes, saying he’s now, essentially, allowing divorce and remarriage. The critiques come from, I believe, a ‘fundamentalist’ approach to the Scriptural beliefs of marriage, divorce,... [Read more]

I’ve had a front row seat to one of the greatest marriages in the history of time. Today, my parents celebrate 50 years of marriage! A tremendous feat! I’m extremely proud of my parents and want to publicly acknowledge their love, their sacrifice, and their unfailing commitment. You make me better, you aid my marriage, and I am... [Read more]

I’m now a couple of weeks into my new career as a teacher. I’m really enjoying it, and the kids are amazing. We have great conversations about the faith, and I really believe that I’m reaching them. As I consider each of my classes and each of my students, I haven’t yet breached the subject of pornography. I’m working... [Read more]
